Spend Devil's Night With the Devils in Snakewing

Are you looking to hear some good music and have some cheap drinks this week? If your answer is yes, then I have just the event for you. Tomorrow, October 30th, Snakewing is celebrating their 4th anniversary by headlining a show with special guests The A-Gang, The Armed and DJ Mikey Dufour.

They are playing at a new (to me) venue called The Grasshopper Underground, which is located at 22757 Woodward Avenue in Ferndale. The doors are at 8 p.m. and there is only a $5 cover for the night. They are running specials on beers throughout the evening to keep your party raging.

Snakewing is heavy, angry music that gets the crowd moving. It is fitting that their anniversary and this show coincided with devils night because they are metal as fuck and represent all the things that you think of when you think of Devil's Night in Detroit. Members Chris, Phil, Kevin and Nick always show us a good time and put on a great show. They also have some of the best merch around so make sure to stop by the table and check it out. I love the shirts that were designed by Shawn Knight of Child Bite.

The A-Gang is another one of my favorite local bands. They are a little less abrasive than Snakewing, but every bit as interesting. They have more of a punk overtone to their music and lead singer Wedge has always been one of my very favorite front men since his days with Fordirelifesake. They are also known to put on an interesting, energetic and fun live show.

Check out our previous interview with both Snakewing here and The A-Gang here (make links to both) and we hope to see you on Devils night to celebrate the anniversary of Snakewing and the night of the living dead.
